Sexual abuse of children: a response

Sexual abuse of children: a response

Anne Lastmen

I wish to respond to Dr Jago’s comment re sexual abuse in families, that is what my new book, Hidden Pain (available from me or Freedom Publishing) is about.

A further comment regarding the ongoing debate on the use of smartphones and tablets at Mass etc. When reading the ongoing disagreements, I remembered going to a Jewish religious service and remember the rabbi coming into the synagogue holding aloft a beautiful Torah Scroll with its crown of many jewels and the reverence with which it was seen and held.

I wonder if they will walk into synagogue holding aloft an app. Methinks not.

The “Word” of God for the Jewish people is holy and to be treated as holy with all the reverence which can be mastered.
